When I was leaving previous company, my supervisor was leaving for another position(promotion), so I made a card to thank and congratulate her.
Birthday card for men
It is harder for me to make birthday cards for male friends/family members…
Mini cards
During the summer, I made a few mini cards using smaller cardstock leftovers. So these are about business card size. Mostly left blank, so they can be used for whatever.
Tissue holder with mason jar and chalk paint
I saw cute tissue holder that were painted with chalk paint. So I decided to make one also. I got a 32oz wide mouth jar.
I used wide mouth mason jar. Then I got Waverly chalk paint in a few colors, Acrylic matte finish sealer, and Kleenex Perfect Fit (in a tube box).
I spray with the matte sealer first based on other people’s suggestion. Then I painted twice and sprayed again to seal.
I also cut out vinyl as a stencil. My first attempt on anything other than paper craft. It is so much fun!
Kleenex Perfect Fit looks like this. Just take the rid and tissue and put it into the far when you are done.
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! We already went to a Halloween event by Vue de Vire, my hubby as Slash (from GNR) and I as a rock band groupie from 80’s!
But before we decided what we were going to be, I found a shark costume for Mochi thinking he can be a shark. But after I put it on him, I realized it is more like a shark eating him…
And we bought our camera to take pics of him in other people’s decorated frontyard…
Birthday card with Martha Stewart flocking powder
I saw a set of powder on sale at Michael’s and bought it without knowing how to use it. It just looked like glitter powder…
It turns out flocking powders are kind of fuzzy after you apply it on paper with glue. I like it better than glitter powder!
It is hard to see in the pictures. I will have to take better photos next time!
77th Birthday card
Birthday card with button balloons
I saw a cute card on Pinterest with a hot air balloon that was made with little buttons. So I looked at buttons I have and decided to create a balloon!
It also has pics of her dogs… White fluffy clouds are yarn.
Another Father’s day card
And here is another one… This is for my husband’s dad. I used a pick of my husband when he was little…
Happy Father’s Day 2017
1 of 2 father’s day cards I made… I usually have to make 3 father’s day cards, one for my husband’s dad, then his stepdad and my dad in Japan. But I was sick for 2 weeks, I was just too late to send him a card this year. Oh, well.
